The end result is that the game is run into the ground and sometimes the studio behind it goes out of business.
There is a long list of games and studios that EA has killed this way.
To be clear though, Hardline is being made by Visceral and not Dice. I suspect that EA gave the BF name to another studio because Dice screwed up so badly with BF4. Since EA is run by empty suits who never played a video game in their life they had no problem giving the green light to morph a military shooter into a cops & robbers game.
I suspect the phone call went something like this:
EA: "Okay, the Dice boys screwed up and we can't afford to trust them again. So what have you got Visceral?"
Visceral: "Umm...erh...mmm...how about we make a cops & robbers game?"
EA: "Whatever, these stupid video game losers will buy any crap we shovel out. Make a premium version for $120.00 and 3 dlcs."
P.S. Don't forget that BF2 is actually a remake of the free fan made mod for BF1942 called "Desert Combat".
Dice hired the guys who made Desert Combat to make BF2 and when it was finished they fired everybody and never paid them.
Just thought I would throw in that little tidbit in case anybody has any misguided sympathy for Dice.
